India’s largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki, is all set to enter the electric vehicle race with its much-awaited SUV, the eVX. First showcased as a concept, the eVX has generated massive buzz as it aims to rival Tata’s best-selling Nexon EV. As electric mobility gains momentum in India, the arrival of the eVX could be a game-changer for budget-friendly electric SUVs. Let’s dive into what makes this car highly anticipated.
Sleek SUV Styling with Futuristic Touches
The Maruti eVX stands out with a bold, futuristic SUV design. Though the final production model may differ slightly from the concept version, the vehicle is expected to feature sharp LED lighting, aerodynamic lines, and a closed-off grille typical of EVs. With a stance similar to that of mid-size SUVs, it aims to offer both road presence and city maneuverability. Unique alloy wheels and signature LED DRLs may further add to its appeal.
Battery, Range, and Charging
Maruti has confirmed that the eVX will be based on an EV-dedicated platform, developed in collaboration with Toyota. The electric SUV is expected to be powered by a 60 kWh battery, offering an impressive range of around 550 km on a single charge (ARAI-certified). Real-world range could hover around 400–450 km, depending on driving style. The eVX is also likely to support fast charging, which can juice up the battery from 0 to 80% in under an hour.
Interior and Tech Expectations
Maruti is expected to take a big leap forward in interior quality and technology with the eVX. It could feature a dual-screen setup for infotainment and the instrument cluster, similar to what’s seen in global EVs. Additional features may include a 360-degree camera, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, connected car technology, auto climate control, and possibly ADAS features in the top variant. The cabin will be designed to offer ample space, futuristic aesthetics, and eco-friendly materials.
Launch Timeline and Price Positioning
Maruti has officially confirmed that the eVX will launch in India by the end of 2025, with production set to begin soon. The vehicle will be manufactured locally at the company’s Gujarat plant, which helps in reducing costs. As for pricing, the eVX is expected to fall in the ₹18 lakh to ₹22 lakh (ex-showroom) range, placing it directly against the Tata Nexon EV Long Range, MG ZS EV, and upcoming SUVs from Mahindra and Hyundai.
The Maruti Suzuki eVX marks a significant move for the company as it steps into India’s fast-evolving electric vehicle market. With its high driving range, premium design, and competitive pricing, the eVX is set to make electric mobility more mainstream. If Maruti can deliver on expectations, the eVX could become a volume-seller in the electric SUV segment, giving Tata’s Nexon EV some serious competition. Stay tuned for further updates and official unveilings soon.
